Readercon, Necon, World Fantasy, and others

The summer is filling up fast. In July, I have something booked every weekend, whether it's a convention (or two) or a trip or a camping event.

I've been so busy with other things that I haven't updated my web site yet, so I thought I'd post the info here.

Calendar events

Readercon 18 (July 6-8, 2007)Friday night at 8 pm I'll be participating in the Broad Universe Rapid-fire Reading. It you're not doing anything, stop by and hear readings from me and other members of Broad Universe. On Saturday and Sunday, you can find me from time to time at the Broad Universe table in the dealer's room, selling and signing copies of my new novel, THE OLD POWER RETURNS.

Broad Universe is an international organization with the primary goal of promoting science fiction, fantasy, and horror written by women. Readercon is an annual convention that centers on the writers, editors, critics, and readers of written science fiction, fantasy, and the wider realm of imaginative literature that involves some element of the fantastic.
